It is with great sorrow that we were just informed by Coralee that Louise Brown-Streater "Baby Hughie" died in January 2014. Cora heard this from her brother, who's a classmate of Ron Brown, Louise's brother. She had been dealing with lung cancer so that may have been the cause. We will get further information and post it when available. Rest in Peace dear friend. You will be missed by all your classmates.
